Display empty taxonomy terms with get_terms()

by

I have a function setup as follows:

<?php $terms = get_terms("wpsc_product_category");
 if ( !empty( $terms ) && !is_wp_error( $terms ) ){
     foreach ( $terms as $term ) { ?>
        <li class="calendar-filter-menu-item" data-filter=".<?php echo $term->slug; ?>"><?php echo $term->count; ?></li>
    <?php }
 } ?>

Which displays the taxonomy slug and count for each taxonomy, only problem is it’s not showing a taxonomy that has no posts in, only taxonomies with posts assigned to them are being show, is it possible to show empty taxonomies as well?

You can make use of the hide_empty argument of get_terms(). It’s default value is set to true.

Do it somewhat like this:

$args = array(
    'hide_empty' => false
);
$terms = get_terms( 'wpsc_product_category', $args );
